Gappah

Mahere’s legal success, particularly in her case against Gappah, has sparked debate within opposition circles, with some supporters questioning her role as a true opposition activist.

But Information permanent secretary Ndavaningi Mangwana yesterday professed ignorance over the role Gappah played in Mnangagwa’s government.

Gappah’s novel recounts the last journey of David Livingstone, told by the Africans who brought his corpse home.
